Guarding His Heart

To protect her, he'll have to cover the bases - first, second, third, and all the way home. Cassidy Dixon isn't about to let her overprotective big brother know she has a stalker problem. But when she turns to his bodyguard agency partner, former MLB player Jax Wilder, she realizes she's made an even bigger mistake. Jax is even more overbearing, and soon he's getting too close for comfort - as in panty-melting close. Heat is the last thing she needs in her under-siege ice cream shop - until hot tempers explode into the best angry sex of her life. For once, the last thing on Jax's morning-after mind is escape. He's wanted Chase's little sister too long not to make a move when opportunity strikes. He knows the reasons why she lives a careful life, and he's ready to be the man she needs. If only she'd stop trying to get away... Certain Jax feels guilty for sampling forbidden, way-too-sheltered fruit, Cassidy sets out to prove that she's not as innocent and inexperienced as he thinks. She never expected him to rise to the challenge... or to be ready to risk everything to keep her safe. Warning: Contains an overworked bodyguard who is juggling a stalker and a woman desperate to unleash her wilder side. This hero knows how to ride... to the rescue and a motorcycle, among other things. Beware of curve balls and acts of spontaneous outdoor sex.
